A Monster Created Ozempic – The Truth Behind the Hype

The podcast where we unpack the what, how, and why behind the headlines—and today, we’re taking a closer look at a drug that’s sparked headlines, debates, and a whole lot of interest: Ozempic.

This podcast isn’t pro-Ozempic or anti-Ozempic. I’m not here to promote it, criticize it, or sell it to your uncle on Facebook. I’m also not a doctor, a pharmacist, or an Ozempic user. I’m just a curious mind—and my research team and I are here to provide well-researched, fact-based information so you can form your own opinion.
